I'm still trying to get my chubby fingers around 300,000 miners deployed in one location.



According to this article one of the largest mines in the world is thought to have 3000.

"This particular set up performs at a massive hash rate of around 38 PH per second – something possible since it is believed to use around 3000 Antminer S9 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miners to mine. "

Why didn't Bitmain call Dunamis to have their miners hosted, seems so neat and tidy. Are these units plus 100,000 more going to be diverted to Pine Top?


"Bitmain is planning to deploy 200,000 units of its own mining equipment in China to take advantage of cheap hydroelectric power this summer."

"Assuming Bitmain’s self-mining hash rate all came from the AntMiner S9 – each having a hash rate of about 14 trillion hashes per second (TH/s) – that suggests the company had about 170,000 machines running at the time. (1PH/s equals 1,000 TH/s.)

But as of March 5, the hash rate of Bitmain’s operations had decreased to 1,692 PH/s, implying, under the same assumptions, that the company unplugged about 50,000 miners over the past several months and had around 120,000 sets of equipment running in early March."
